2008 King Estate Oregon Pinot Gris

90 points and one of the Wine Spectator's Top 100 Wines of 2009: "Bright and lively, brimming with lemon meringue, golden raisin and green tea character. Finishes with zip. Drink now. 71,000 cases made." (12/09) 89 points Wine Enthusiast: "Lightly herbal, scented with tart pear and tasting the same, this organically grown estate wine is King Estate's best Pinot Gris. Their signature bottling sets a good standard for the grape in Oregon; this elevates with more detail, density and personality. The alcohol is a sensible 13%, allowing subtle green fruit and herb grace notes to emerge." (10/10)
